Spring Grove Area School District

The Spring Grove Area School District in Pennsylvania operates 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district is home to several standout schools, with Spring Grove Elementary School and New Salem Elementary School ranking among the top elementary schools in the state. The district's high school, Spring Grove Area High School, also performs exceptionally well, with high Keystone Exam proficiency rates and a low dropout rate.

Across the district, schools generally outperform state averages on standardized tests, with some schools like Spring Grove Elementary and New Salem Elementary achieving exceptional proficiency rates. However, there is some variation in performance, as Paradise Elementary School lags behind the other elementary schools. Additionally, the middle schools in the district, particularly Spring Grove Area Middle School, have lower proficiency rates in math compared to the elementary and high schools.

The district also exhibits diversity in terms of student socioeconomic status, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 31.5% at the high school to 45.6% at Paradise Elementary. This variation in economic background may be a factor to consider when analyzing the schools' performance. Additionally, the differences in per-student spending across the schools suggest the district may be allocating resources unevenly, which could be an area for further investigation and optimization.
